If you are considering giving up your cavalier, be sure to contact your local or regional cavalier rescue group first. Links to organisations internationally are listed at the top of the Breed Rescue forum. Rescues will make absolutely sure your dog goes to the best possible home. Cavaliers handed in to pounds or shelters can go to anyone and homes generally are not homechecked, or may be put to sleep.
